Une Journee en Taxi

Johnny (Gilles Renaud), who took the fall for a Montreal bank robbery while the rest of the gang got away, receives a 36-hour furlough from prison. Consumed with revenge, Johnny hires a cab driven by French immigrant Michel (Jean Yanne) to prowl the city streets as he searches for Steve (Michel Forget), the robbery's ringleader, whom he intends to murder. As Johnny and Michel travel around Montreal, their ongoing conversation turns into a philosophical discussion about vengeance.
